You can definitely tell the difference between cheap RCAs and the more expensive ones. I've tested it myself. One time I compared some RCA brand RCAs that I got at wal-mart to some RF white wolf RCAs on my house sub. The difference was incredible. It felt like the sub put out like 50% more power. I've also done some other similar comparisons before and I can always tell the difference between the cheap ones and the expensive ones.

As long as you think you can hear a difference, more power to you. Spend all the extra money you want. I will take inexpensive wire and have equal sound.

I'm all for cheap Radio Shack wire. I can't afford drivers that would make a difference apparent. Maybe if I had 10,000 dollars for a custom setup...

You would still be wasting your time. I'm all for getting some good quality wires ( www.Knukonceptz.com ) but I see no reason to pay any kind of premium for sound. Pay a premium for pretty interconnects or better quality terminations, but keep in mind that the sound will be the same.

What? I thought the sub powered the amp, which in turned created outstanding highs and mids through the HU. That's how it works isn't it guys...Guys?...Isn't it?

difference in sound???? i highly doubt it. better cables may be more durable or be prettier or whatever. hell i doubt it but, maybe have a slightly cleaner signal, but i dont think it would be audible. but 50% more power????????????? i mean .... that's it???? man you gotta get better cables. ever since i picked up the knu konceptz, my pyramid amp actually really does put out 10,000,000,000,000 watts. see the rca's are the secret to car audio. it dont matter if your whole setup consists of pyramid and pyle, and it dont matter if everything was installed completely wrong, cus when you get good rca's everything sounds better. man now my roadgear subs hit harder than a 13w7. i also hit a 168 in lastyears dB drag. so don't delay get some new rca's today
this thread is called yet another audio idiot question, but it wasn't. it was actually a good question that deserved a good answer. but what it should be called is another good audio question with an another audio idiot answer. 50% more power???? i don't see how this could be true, maybe if your old cables were duds,like they were not making a tight connection and it was getting like half the signal or something, but i still cant see it making that big of a difference.and if this was the case that dosent mean every cheap set of cables is bad, you just got a faulty set

Sorry to interrupt all the wonderful RCA talk  , but can anyone give me a simple answer to my previous question. Thanks
